Fab Freebie: Maine Attractions

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

It’s a shame we can’t take any major road trips right now (thanks to our wee one) since this week’s giveaway has us itching to head north to Kennebunkport, Maine. That’s because Spaces Kennebunkport– the shop behind today’s prize- embodies just the type of comfortable seaside home accents that Sherry and I love. Never mind that we can barely spell the name… we still want to eat up everything in their store. Have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome online shop and one of you is gonna win a $150 gift certificate to spend there. Score.

Kenne Four Grid

And not that we’re in the business of telling people how to spend their prize money, but here are some things we would totally snag for ourselves:

Kenne Our Picks

Wanna take home some of this beachy bliss? Here’s how to enter this week’s Fab Freebie (oh, and stay tuned for a discount code this Thursday):

  • PRIZE: $150 toward anything in Spaces Kennebunkport’s shop
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MAINE ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … since our giveaway sponsors reside in a fairly uniquely-named town, we’d love to know of any unique / weird / funny city names that you live in, have visited, or have noticed on a map (i.e. Love, VA; Bummerville, CA; Sweet Lips, TN)
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 2nd at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the USA
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    I love Maine! My best friend lives in Sunnyside, WA. Not such a funny name, but I love the way it sounds. But I’d like it even better if it wasn’t across the country!

    I’ve never lived anywhere with a particularly interesting name, but my favorite town name in Kentucky (the state I grew up in) was Waddy Peytona. It’s just fun to say:)

    We once went to North Pole, Alaska. Its definitely not a crazy name, but it was a crazy place. Everything is permanently decorated for Christmas including lampposts, street signs, and even the McDonalds.

    Thanks for the fab giveaway!

    I can’t think of any weird town names off the top of my head, but every time we are driving through Arkansas we get a laugh from “Toad Suck Park.” Who named that? We’re not sure we really want to know the story behind it. LOL
